A huge thank you to those who have donated to my new company's crowdfunder.

We are still quite a way from reaching our hoped target so if you are able or willing to support our endeavours I would be so grateful.

We are making some really cool and unique stuff and every contribution helps.

Adam keeps it quiet because he’s mostly a director but he’s really great at sound design and composition for plays! Hire him for all your fringe needs!
Does anyone need an EdFringe Sound Designer?

I have time in June/July and will be up in Edinburgh for week zero. Amongst other things I designed the sound for last year’s Fringe First winning ‘Revenge: After the Levoyah’

We need a new word for the deployment of “antisemitism” that goes beyond “weaponization” and “instrumentalization” to become a form of active racist state power itself, including against Jews

The Anti-Defamation League, which still calls itself a civil rights organization, endorses disappearing US permanent residents with green cards.

The moral stain of this will never wash off.

I’ve been so upset about the Mahmoud Khalil situation all day — it isn’t business as usual for the White House to instruct Ice to revoke the green card (!!) of a Columbia graduate for their political views. For me this’ll be the moment we tipped from authoritarianism light to authoritarianism heavy.

Trump et al are using the smokescreen of antisemitism as a pretext to suppress free speech, deport immigrants, & punish activists

Not in my fucking name will antisemitism be weaponised by a bunch of neo-Nazis

Jewish safety comes in solidarity w/ other marginalised groups & in freedom to dissent

This extreme escalation is an egregious violation of first amendment rights. Now is the moment to speak out and oppose this as fiercely and loudly as possible.

Speak out. Organize. Across all the silos. They are testing to see what they can get away with.
NEWS: Last night, the Department of Homeland Security detained a Palestinian who helped lead the Columbia encampment.

Agents told him his visa was revoked. He said he had a green card. They were confused—then said that was revoked too.

His attorney demanded a warrant. Agents hung up instead.

Antisemitism in its late 19th century nationalist formulation is not only a hatred of Jews, but a particular belief about rootless internationalists and migration as a threat to the stability of hard national borders and identities. It can thus be structurally appealing to Jewish nationalists, too.
Steve Bannon: "The people of Israel got to understand something. The number one enemy to the people in Israel are American Jews that do not support Israel and do not support MAGA. Okay, MAGA and the evangelical Christians and the traditional Catholics in this country have Israel's back..."

The GOP has a Christian nationalist leading DOD, a guy who suggested COVID was designed to spare Jews probably running HHS, a lady who pushed Great Replacement at the UN, a guy too tied to white supremacists for Trump 1 headed to State, and a guy who podcasted w a Holocaust denier running FBI 1/2
“He [Lawler] said that reintroducing and passing the bill “sends a message nationwide that antisemitism is not going to be tolerated…. unless the antisemitism is coming from Donald Trump or Elon Musk. In that case, we’re totally cool with it!!

We call on Jews of conscience to be the leadership our community needs, and make clear that we will resist any attempt by Trump to forcibly expel another generation of Palestinians. Our safety is tied together, and always will be.

I would like to believe that this is the moment when the American Jewish community as a whole (and not just liberal or leftist orgs) will rise up and say, "This is too far. We will not support Israel if this is their government's policy."

I wish I had more faith that would be the case.
Trump just said he’s calling for the full forcible transfer of all 1.8 million Gazans out of the strip and says “The US will take over the Gaza Strip”

Revenge: After the Levoyah. That's it. Sold out.

Our DMs wouldn't stop pinging, so we added 5 extra shows. Now they're gone too. Returns only, or try your luck at the door. Good things come to those who queue.

It is *very* important to understand that Jews were never the only target of the 1930s Nazis and they are not the only targets of today’s Nazis. A Nazi salute is not only antisemitic. It is also racist, ableist, and queerphobic.

One effect of legacy American Jewish organizations like the ADL and AJC going so hard into “anti-Zionism is the major form of antisemitism” is that a lot of people now think, “My Zionism means I cannot be antisemitic.” In fact, these positions are perfectly compatible! See also: Orbán, Viktor.
